At Home, 6-17-11

The trip from Milwaukee to Winthrop Harbor was without without much wind.  It was a challenge though.  There was a thick fog in the harbor when I started that lasted until I was about two miles from shore.  I was going slow under power, using my radar, GPS and a visual lookout.  There were several small fishing boats in the Milwaukee inner harbor that I managed to evade.  Outside of Kenosha there was a fast moving power boat that was on a T-bone collision course with me.  I think he had his boat on autopilot and was talking to his fishing buddies in the back.  I brought my boat to a stop and waited for him to cross in front of me.  I stopped in plenty of time, but it could have ended the trip with a bang.  I had the right of way, but did not want to be dead right.
